About this property
Cozy hand-built cabin in the heart of wine country, near mountains and Mayberry
Sit back and unwind! This private cabin features a loft bedroom, two bathrooms, full kitchen, woodstove, jet tub, washer and dryer, outdoor fire pit, and much more! Enjoy an evening on the full-length covered back deck while listening to the bullfrogs croak in the nearby pond. You're only a short walk away from fishing the stocked waters of the Fisher River. Enjoy the covered bridge over Red Hill Creek. Tour nearby vineyards or the local brewery. Take a short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, where gorgeous views abound. Go for a hike at nearby Stone Mountain State Park or Pilot Mountain State Park. Be sure to check out the events at the nearby Blue Ridge Music Center, as well as Mount Airy and Elkin.
Queen bed upstairs, full (comfy) futon folds out downstairs.

About the host
Hosted by Heidi Hatcher

With help from friends and family (mostly my dad!), I built my cabin by hand in 2009/2010. Upon completion, I moved to Alaska to pursue a career as a wildlife biologist. I love returning to my cabin annually to visit my family, but it's a shame to let it sit empty for the rest of the year!
Why they chose this property
Nestled on a hill, just a short walk from a stunning view of the Fisher Valley, this cabin has everything. Watch for deer in the fields and woods surrounding the cabin, take a walk along the ridgetop to get away from the world, walk across the covered bridge to a small pond, or follow the dirt road a few hundred yards down to the stocked waters of the Fisher River. Venture a little further (20-30 minute drive) to discover countless local vineyards as well as Stone Mountain State Park, Pilot Mountain State Park, or the Blue Ridge Parkway!
What makes this property unique
A lot of sweat, blood, and tears went into the construction of Heidi's cabin! Every detail is hand-picked and every board was painstakingly placed by me, my dad, or one of our friends or family members that volunteered their time and effort to help us finish the cabin. That being said, the house has its quirks! I have a list of quirks to work on each time I go home, including the back deck lights not always cooperating!
